Please note this policy applies only to information collected by The Fountains online and does not impact data collected or used by its affiliates through other means.

How we collect information from users.

The methods we use to collect and store data depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. An example would be if you are asked to provide information when you register for e-mail subscriptions or access to certain portions of our site. You may provide data when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling features, and other interactive areas of our site.

Similar to most web sites, The Fountains also collects data automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Cookies may store your username and password or may control the advertisements you see while visiting our site. As we implement new technology, we may gather information through other means. In some cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, such as setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access portions of the site and we may not be able to customize the site's features according to your preferences.

What we do with the data we collect.

Similar to most Internet publishers, we may collect data to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising, and we sometimes permit our advertising and promotional partners to call your attention to promotions, products, special offers and other content we believe might be of interest to you. We offer you the opportunity to elect not to receive direct communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, as described below.

Aggregated data (data that does not identify you personally) may be used in many ways. An example of this is we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information from others users to help enhance our site and services. This includes which pages are most active, what browsers are most popular among our visitors, what times of day are most active and other similar information. Aggregated data may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and partners. This information does not include any personally intentifiable data about you or allow anyone to identify you personally.

Personally identifiable data collected by The Fountains may be used for other means such as communications with you and troubleshooting purposes. We will use your data only as permitted by law. During our course of business we sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies. In such occurrences, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, or when we believe we are required to by law, or to law enforcement authorities when we deem it necessary. We may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in these cases.

Our stance with our partners.

The Fountains expects its partners to respect the privacy of our visitors. However, third parties and other content providers may have their own privacy and data collection methods. Through The Fountains you may be introduced to third party web sites via links. The Fountains is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. Please check the privacy policies of those third parties when providing data offered by them.
